About Single Spey Flyfishing

Followed my passions over the years for better or worst... Have had the Steelhead bug now for 28yrs. I have played drums professionally for several years, grew up on rock & roll. Being a Flyfishing Guide for 15 yrs on the coast of BC has given me a lot of experience and a broad knowledge for approaching Salmon & Steelhead fishing with a fly! I have owned a couple of lodges in BC, one called Spey Lodge with the more recent addition being Boundary Lodge. In the past 4 years I have been back on Vancouver Island starting up a flyfishing Guide service based on the banks of the Campbell river, just a few properties upstream from the famous Roderick Haig Brown heritage property. This is where my family and I are currently enjoying our lives on the coast of BC.

Thanks for viewing my first blog. For more info about my guide service view www.bcflyguide.com or if you have questions about flyfishing Vancouver Island in general please feel free to ask. This site's all about Flyfishing Vancouver Island with some great pictures from guided & personal fishing trips, new flies I'm tying, whats new & all that other good stuff related to casting a fly on island waters! Flyfishing, guiding and my passion for this sport is always growing. I hope this blog will assist those of you in keeping up on what I'm up to here, and why I think Vancouver Island BC is so under rated for it's Flyfishing opportunities. Thanks for visiting and come again, regards.

Vancouver Island flyfishing Update, Jan 10th

Have had some nice sea run cutthroat fishng recently, some up to 4lbs. With the little water we've had though it hasn't been Steelhead friendly as Steelhead like to push up the river in high water flows... I haven't been out much as I like the larger flows if I can choose my days. We're now getting a cold snap again and for the next few days so rivers will continue to drop however there should be the odd fish around for those anxious to get out! They might just be finicky fish but whats not to like about being on the water under some blue skies, certainly an afternoon fish:)

Fishing in Alaska is fun, especially in the southeast area. The waters in the southeast of Alaska are very rich in water life. There are so many different kinds of fishes that you could get to catch here.
